OpenPHT replies on a forked Libcec that it downloads from http://mirrors.xbmc.org/ [1]. Presumably the make logic notices that libcec is already installed so it skips trying to download it. But the copy of libcec installed is not the forked xmbc copy, so there's all sorts of mismatches.

I'm still trying to locate where the patched libcec is hosted to see if it is worth setting up a PKGBUILD for it.

I checked both those things. I was indeed not running the latest, so I rebooted. I also verified that I had libcec3 installed and reinstalled it anyway. The problem however, persists.

Could the problem perhaps lie in the fact that openpht-ffmpeg still uses the libcec in the Arch repos?

Are you running the kernel that is installed?

So is uname -a the same version as pacman -Qs kernel ?
I have had several times that make can't find the needed library's if your not running the latest installed.

@Denzo:

I'm at work, so I can't verify it, but I believe it's the same issue that broke plex-media-player. Plex uses libcec 3 while the latest libcec in Arch repos is libcec 4. They aren't API compatible. I fixed this by making a libcec3 package (available on AUR) that can be installed alongside libcec. Then I patched plex-media-player to use that instead.

You could probably also try downgrading your libcec install, but downgrades aren't generally supported on Arch Linux, so you might break something else.

I get the following build errors while using either libcec or libcec-git:
